The relationship between body temperature and ovulation is clear at a glance
Women\’s fertility is inseparable from ovulation. If you want to know your ovulation time more accurately, you need to monitor your basal body temperature. The following is a detailed analysis of the relationship between body temperature and ovulation from the aspects of basal body temperature, ovulation period, ovulation breakthroughs and abnormalities.
Basal body temperature monitors ovulation period
Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature measured while lying down, usually after getting up in the morning, before doing any activities, not even doing anything when getting up, without talking, just put the thermometer under your armpit, and record the day body temperature value. Monitoring basal body temperature helps determine when a woman is ovulating. Typically, a woman\’s body temperature will be lower before ovulation, rise significantly after ovulation, and then decrease after the menstrual cycle ends. Therefore, by monitoring basal body temperature, we can more accurately predict a woman\’s ovulation time.
Body temperature changes during ovulation
In a woman\’s menstrual cycle, the ovulation period is usually about 14 days after the start of menstruation, but due to the different physiological conditions of each woman, the specific time will also vary. During ovulation, a woman\’s basal body temperature will rise slightly, which is manifested as an obvious peak on the temperature curve. This peak usually lasts for one to two days, and the body temperature is about 0.2 degrees higher than the previous few days. This is when a woman\’s fertility is at its highest. It is recommended that couples have sex during this period to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Ovulation breakthrough causes basal body temperature to soar
Ovulation breakthrough refers to a temporary endocrine imbalance in production due to the rupture of the ovulating follicle during ovulation, which causes the ovary to be damaged to varying degrees. This imbalance is short-lived, but will cause the basal body temperature to soar after breaking through a certain threshold, which is manifested as a more prominent peak on the temperature curve. Ovulatory breakthrough usually occurs one to two days before and after ovulation, and then returns to normal. If a woman detects such an obvious spike in body temperature when monitoring her basal body temperature, it is likely to indicate that she has ovulated in the near future.
Prudent judgment is required under abnormal circumstances
However, it should be noted that although basal body temperature can help us determine the ovulation period, some factors may affect the measurement of body temperature, causing the basal body temperature we obtain to be less accurate. For example, special holidays, injuries to one side of the body, or illness will affect the basal body temperature and normal cycle curve. If a woman\’s basal body temperature curve fluctuates greatly, or she experiences early low and high temperatures, she may need to consult a doctor and undergo more investigations to identify potential problems.
In short, basal body temperature and its curve can very accurately reflect a woman\’s menstrual cycle and ovulation time, which is especially important for women who want to get pregnant or arrange their menstrual life. By monitoring basal body temperature, women can be more aware of their ovulation time, which can help increase the chance of pregnancy to a certain extent. Of course, we must also pay attention to the fact that extremes must reverse things. Studying your own body temperature too accurately may actually aggravate your condition.Pregnancy anxiety and urgency. It requires moderate attention and careful planning on the part of women.
